767 interesting cockpit vid

[bennyboydurham]

I know there are lots of jumpseat landing videos on youtube but this is quite fascinating as not only is it in rock steady 720p quality but shows the F/O grappling with it all the way down the approach.

The Captain says after landing 'good job' but the F/O doesn't seem too sure, he just says 'it was ok'. Worth a look for spotters.

Good video, thanks. I thought it was a smooth touch down, but he was wrestling with it a fair bit.

One hand on the steering wheel, tut tut.

Yep looks like a fairly bumpy approach but the touchdown was very nice. When I flew the BA 737-400 sim last year the instructor said 'don't play with it, make positive corrections and put it where you want it'. I shot the Jersey approach in medium turbulence and happily did rather well but only after we stepped out did I realise I was coated in sweat. The Boeings do require a bit of manhandling in rough weather.

But Ross, I was taught to fly (in NZ) with one hand on the wheel/stick & the other on the throttle at all times (cruise excepted). I can appreciate that perhaps with aircraft with autothrottle two hands makes sense. In the UK are students taught to fly light aircraft with both hands on the wheel?

Nice vid.
I only fly very ickle planes but am taught to fly with one hand on the 'stick' - the other hand is on the throttles. Attitude controls speed, throttle controls height. Eyes out the front, dont chase the instruments. You need to develop a feel for how quickly the aircraft responds to your inputs; it's not a car, even ickle aicraft have a bit of inertia.

He seems to be sitting a little high..... but a great camera angle

That's what I was thinking.

Nice B1 the Capt. has too.

Hi,

nice video, maybe one of these go sports cams which can be fitted in various positions and angles.

He does look like he is sitting a little high up but it might also be due to the seat having no headrest.

The surface wind is probably from the left judging by the control column position after landing. Bit late selecting reverse thrust tho.

Or from the right
